"Composed" invites you into the world of professional classical music, for an exploration of the many causes of and solutions for performance anxiety. This feature documentary brings together dozens of professionals from prestigious orchestras, symphonies, and music schools to discuss their personal journeys, and consider how best to achieve excellence in the face of enormous pressure. Composed finally confirms what so many of us have always secretly wondered – no, it’s not just you who has experienced the physical and mental agonies of performance anxiety, and yes, there are many ways to overcome the symptoms and deliver peak auditions and performances.

Join producer/director John Beder, and a panel including Virginia Symphony Orchestra Music Director JoAnn Falletta, the Ambrosia String Quartet (who will also perform), and Dr. Kamal Chemali of Sentara Music & Medicine after the film for a discussion.

A Meet & Greet at Ynot Italian will follow the event at the theater. 10% proceeds from all sales at Ynot Italian on March 5 will go towards the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
